MY FAST800 EATING- how I am going to lose 2 stone

GOALS 2020 &2021- A review of my 2020 goals and my new 2021 goals.

The Blog will be back in 2021!

 Well Look what I found! My Blog. 

To be honest I knew it was not lost but I had no interest in it. In 2020 I set myself a goal to take a pic a day and post it on my personal Instagram .My Personal Instagram I have managed that and I am delighted with it.

 I also have my diet/health Instagram which I also do as and when the urge takes me. This one follows my Diet, 5;2, Fasting, fast 800, Intermittent fasting and exercise ( when I am on it) Its not all just diet, I often post non diet food too! Karens weight loss saga

I did for a while have a widget that allowed my Instagram posts to directly upload onto my blog but that was kinda lazy and it stopped mid march time.

SO..............

Here we are, I tried at some point last year to move my blog but that failed as I liked Blogger and how it runs but it was not being updated. I ain't that sure at the moment what will happen with it but it seems now that Google ( who own it) were taking a bit more interest.

Anyways, my plan for 2021 is to get into Vlogging more. I do love you tube, I watch it more than tv if I am honest. Mike and I bought a gopro8 in 2020 and loved filming walks and we intend to do that again this year.

  I have my own YouTube channel My You Tube and then Mike and I share one we use to do all our walking ones. Our walking youtube It would be fab if you would like and subscribe both 👍

I will not stop posting on Instagram as I love it but just wont have the hassle of trying to post a daily picture. Instead I will have to make a weekly Vlog which I am kinda excited for. 

So in 2021 I am hoping to once again post here so Blogging and Vlogging for me!

Day 87 of my pic a day challenge. Well as I was getting ready for nightshift last night I knew I was not feeling great. Took my temperature and 38.5. In for 7 days and poor mike and Marcus for 14. Feel ok-ish. Upper chest feels “odd” on an out breath. Kinda tight pressure. Bit of a dry annoying cough at times. Achy all over but feels more like a head cold or hay fever. Best to keep my colleagues safe however. Hopefully get self tested next week once it starts.

2nd attempt at watercolour. This is it wet/damp still. I got a shock how different they dry. Don’t like the 1st one much but like the sunset and the dark sky. I think my moon in the middle should be higher. Such a self critic already at pic 2!

Day 67 of my pic a day challenge. Coffee bags. Never tried these before but saw them in Lidl for under £2 and thought I would try them. Tasted exactly like percolated coffee. Would I buy them again? Undecided

Day 66 of my pic a day challenge. I love miniature daffodils. They always seems nicer, Narcissus ‘Tête-à-tête’ or wee daffies as I prefer to call them. Also adore this blue pot. I got it years ago from my mam and it looks amazing with whatever colour is in it. Anyways will enjoy this for a while more before it gets planted for summer

First walk in a long time but we managed a decent 10000 steps. Managed also to yap that whole time without drawing breath. Don’t know which is better, the physical exercise or the mental positivities exercising with a friend gives. @suzybloozy see you Monday and Thursday night next week. Ps stopped for a pic in front of a blossom tree but pic never picked it up that well
